By Henry Boswett, M.A. 
Some interesting species have recently been added to our Moss- 
list, and new localities found for several rare species, a few 
notes whereon will be of use as showing that there are still 
nage remaining to us of yet further Fame within the 
limits of our own favoured islands.

new altogether. 
Tortula canescens Br., doubtfully recorded in ‘ Bryol. Brit.’ as
